    55 Rancher 46 MM Mahle cylinder ID

    I have a 2003 Rancher with a Mahle cylinder - 46 ZD 3 ++ stamped on it. Is that a standard cylinder for the Rancher? I assume it is an open port since it's a 46 mm. PSI on it is #175, which seems rather robust for a 13 year old saw. I will say it is a very clean looking saw, and doesn't appear...

    Aftermarket fuel line issues

    First off this is not an AM parts bashing thread, just my observations after replacing a bad fuel line with AM fuel line. Upon inspection of the new coiled line, I noticed it has a distinct oval,semi flattened shape to it and is very soft and pliable. The new line slid onto the fuel filter with...

    Husqvarna 550 xp Meteor piston

    I see that there one or two "no-brand" pistons available for the 550, and was wondering if anyone knows whether Meteor or Golf is producing one yet. Seems to be quite a few 550's showing up lately with scored (lean ?) p/c's. I happen to be one of the unlucky buyers!

    OE 346 broken cooling fin - run it or throw it

    Saw runs strong, doesn't seem to overheat. Second fin down is cracked 3/4 of the way across. Your opinions are valued.

    346 OE with a compression release valve

    Picked up an OE 346 recently and need some input. The tag says it's a 2000 model. It still has the sticker on the bottom of the saw and is in pretty decent shape for the year. The cylinder has a compression release on it. After taking a closer look, there appears to be red Dirko instead of a...

    Sold Husqvarna 55 Rancher

    Bought it from an elderly man, as he can no longer run a chainsaw. He had it serviced regularly and seemed to have taken good care of it. It starts- idles and runs excellent. I put a 51 top cover on it because his was scratched and faded some. Comes with a new 18" Solo bar ( jon1212) and chain...

    Sold Husqvarna 350 Project Saw

    I have a 350 with the typical muffler, and intake clamp issues. One muffler bolt hole is stripped, and the plastic intake clamp is loose. I believe I have everything to fix both issues. Saw comes with a new 6mm tap and 6mm x 1.00 oversize bolt - new muffler, muffler bracket (346xp), heat...

    Log length, or cut /split in the woods?

    How do you guy's haul out your firewood? Log length, rounds or cut and split in the woods? Tractor, dozer, ATV, 4x4 truck? Seems that many of you cut and split in the woods, and the size of the equipment being used, appears to be a good part of the reason why that method is chosen more often...

    Sold Ported NE 346XP

    Reluctantly, I am selling my Masterminded NE 346xp. I will not be able to cut wood for some time due to an injury and I can't see it sitting here not being used, it's too good of a saw. I have about 8 tanks of gas through it since it was ported by Mastermind, and it seems to get stronger every...

    Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

    Thought maybe you guy's that scrounge wood, might share some of your scrounging methods with the seemingly growing crowd of newbie wood burners. From what I have been reading, they would be quite appreciative to hear how you score, and where you score. There is a lot of useful and interesting...

    Mud season is coming

    After a very snowy winter, like many of us have had, mud season is sure to be one for the ages. At the moment many of us have snow depths that make firewood gathering difficult, if not nearly impossible. As soon as the snow starts to settle I plan on getting as much wood as possible out while...

    No such thing as too much firewood

    Apparently many more people than usual ran out of wood, are almost out, or are into next years supply, this winter. Many have said they "would never be caught without enough firewood again", yet quite a few have been, and not for the first time. I realize a lot of you don't have a woodlot, and...

    Tree length - 4' logs - or rounds in the woods?

    For a long time I've been cutting 4' logs in the woods and hauling them, in a 2wd Ford truck, to the landing. Since purchasing a 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Magnum, I began hauling tree length. The Dodge would have cost more $$ to make road worthy then I wanted to spend, so I turned it into a woods...

    If you had a choice - what size tree would you choose to cut

    I am fortunate enough to own a 50+ acre, heavily forested woodlot. I can pick and choose whatever diameter tree I prefer, so my choices are limitless. Most of the trees I cut are smaller (8-12") just to thin out the woods and promote growth of the larger trees. I find that the smaller wood is...

    51 crank case on a 50 chassis

    I have a 51 Husky with a broken rear handle, and a good 50 Rancher chassis. Can I drop the 51 crankcase onto the 50 chassis without any modifications or issues? Seems to me it would be better than trying to repair the broken handle, which most likely would never look the same after repair...

    Maintaining a ported saw

    I am curious to know the methods that everyone uses to keep their ported saws maintained, in order to ensure the longest possible service time. Any and all "tricks of the trade", so to speak, would be very informative. Not only to me, but to all the ever increasing number of ported saw owners...
